Starting From Douluo, Glory is Invincible

Chapter 721 Two spiritualists

 In the spacious and solemn corridor of the city lord's palace, the atmosphere was tense and solemn for a time. However, as William James's voice came, the tense atmosphere seemed to be broken instantly. Ying easily withdrew his spiritual skills and smiled at Zhang Tao, as if everything was under his control.

"Please." Halter made a respectful gesture of invitation. His attitude was in sharp contrast to before. This made Zhang Tao feel a little dazed. He felt like he was in a dream.

"Thank you." Ying nodded politely, then turned to Zhang Tao and said, "Let's go, Zhang Tao."

“Huh? Oh!” Zhang Tao was stunned for a moment before he realized what he was saying. He quickly followed Ying, but his heart was full of doubts. He didn't know what happened just now, but his intuition told him that he was right to follow Mr. Ying.

They followed Hart through the corridor. The murals and sculptures on both sides of the corridor showed the splendor and glory of the city. However, Zhang Tao had no intention of appreciating these. His heart was filled with confusion about what had just happened.

“Didn’t they just want to drive us away?” Zhang Tao finally couldn’t help asking. He pointed at the guard behind him, his face full of confusion.

Ying didn't mind explaining to Zhang Tao the specific situation that just happened during this walking time. He said calmly: "Because we are too young. According to our current age of 16, most of us are only intermediate spiritualists. So Halter thought that we were just intermediate spiritualists who had received the wrong mission, and planned to let Let's leave like this."

Zhang Tao suddenly realized that it was because they were too young that they were mistaken for intermediate spiritualists. He couldn't help but feel a little lucky in his heart. Fortunately, Ying was there, otherwise they might really be kicked out.

"The spiritual art I just used is a mid-level rare spiritual art. Even ordinary great spiritual magicians cannot fully master it." Ying continued, "And the city lord of every city is not to mention how powerful the spiritual art is. A magician is at least indispensable for his knowledge of spiritual arts, so when I released the Dark Fudo King, he had already seen our strength."

 Zhang Tao listened with great interest. He was full of admiration for Ying's strength and wisdom. He knew that if it weren't for Ying's calmness and wit, they might really miss this opportunity.

“What does it mean?” Zhang Tao asked curiously.

"It shows that our strength is at least not inferior to those of the great spiritualists." There was a hint of confidence in Ying's tone. He knew that his performance had impressed the city lord with them.

Zhang Tao couldn't help but be speechless after hearing this. He didn't expect Ying's strength to have reached such a level. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart, it turned out that the gap between him and Ying was so big.

"Oh! So awesome!" Zhang Tao admired sincerely, "Then if I blow away this city lord's house with one punch, wouldn't it also prove my strength?"

Ying couldn't help shaking his head and laughing after hearing this. He knew Zhang Tao was joking, but he couldn't help but remind him: "That's not okay. We are here to accept the task, not to cause damage. Moreover, the city lord's mansion is not that easy to destroy. Exploded."

Zhang Tao chuckled. He knew that he was thinking wildly, but he still couldn't help but want to show his strength. But he also knew that the most important thing now was to complete the mission, not to show off here. They followed Hart to a spacious hall, where several people in gorgeous clothes were already waiting for them. Seeing Ying and Zhang Tao arriving, they all showed curious and scrutinizing eyes.

Ying and Zhang Tao walked to the center of the hall and faced those eyes calmly. They know that next is the time to truly show their strength.

"Welcome to the City Lord's Mansion." A middle-aged man stepped forward and said with a smile, "I am the steward of the City Lord's Mansion, responsible for the reception of this mission. Are you two intermediate-level people here to receive the additional bounty? Mission?"

"Yes." Ying nodded and said, "We hope to get recognition for this task and complete it."

"Very good." The butler smiled and nodded, "Then please take a rest for a while, and I will ask the Lord of the City to come over and meet you."

 After speaking, he turned around and gave a few instructions to an attendant next to him and then left the hall. Ying and Zhang Tao were waiting for the arrival of the city lord. They knew that the next conversation would determine whether they could successfully accept this task.

 While waiting, Zhang Tao couldn't help but look around. He was attracted by the magnificence and solemnity of this hall. The shadow stood there quietly, like a sculpture, his eyes were deep and firm, as if he was thinking about something important.

After a while, the steward came in with the city lord William James. William James was a middle-aged man, tall and powerful, with a handsome and majestic face. His eyes swept over Ying and Zhang Tao, and then he showed a satisfied smile.

“Welcome two young spiritualists.” William James said with a smile, “I heard that you want to accept an intermediate task with a bounty?”

"Yes." Ying nodded and said, "We hope to get this opportunity to show our strength."

"Very good." William James nodded. "I have always admired the courage and determination of young people. But I also want to remind you that this task is not so easy to complete."

“We understand,” Ying said, “but we are confident that we can complete this task.”

"Oh?" William James raised his eyebrows and looked at the shadow and said, "Are you so confident? Then can you tell me how you plan to complete this task?"
